FFXIV: ARR's fishing system changes

[Zetsumei_Tsunarashi]

It's not that we want a mini-game, for the sake of playing a mini-game. It's that sitting in front of water and waiting for a fish to randomly appear in my inventory is not really that interesting.

Fishing is a class of it's own just like the rest of the classes. Simply because it is a less needed class, does that mean that it should just be ignored ? Just because it is not your favorite class, it should be treated like it doesn't matter ? What if someone just decided that monks are worthless in parties, and don't do much damage, we might as well just get rid of their abilities and just make them do nothing but auto attack the whole time, right ?

If they don't want fishing to have an impact on the economy, then it should at least be the most fun of the DoL.

The other DoL are designed to service crafters, and so therefore they were made to be fast and efficient at gathering the materials you are looking for, with as little effort as possible. What's confusing is why they would make fishing equally as simplified, when there's no need for fish in the economy.

If fishing is meant to be just a hobby now, then why make it boring ?
